Firefox and spell check

[pushkins]

Okay, I gave in and installed "Firefox" as my new internet browser, my problem comes in when I try to install spell check, it keeps coming up "unable to install due to incompatable program. Anyone have any ideas ?

PS....gotta say....I'm liking Firefox much...MUCH better than IE.

Is this spell checker part of firefox or an independent program? I never went that far into firefox but the newest upgrade just came through last week. windows xp has a screen that has compatibility between win xp and stuff meant for win 98 and win 95

I'm an idiot...I got it worked out, there is no "abc" on the tool bar, it just under lines the words and you right click on the misspelled word for the correct spelling or substitutes.
Maybe not as convenient as IE but none the less effective.

Just in case anyone else needed to know.

Are you kidding me? I like lead pencils, yellow wide ruled paper and the U.S.Postal Service better than I.E.

Haha! Made me laugh.

pushkins, I think you'll find that Firefox is more stable, secure, and has more useful features than IE.

Lazypup, What do you have against lead pencils and wide ruled paper?

[pushkins]

Yep, Firefox is much more stable a platform than IE but then again Arctic Ice is more stable than IE....lol

firefox is great! now, try to get rid of ie from your machine. it can't be done! there's so much that functions off ie even when you're not connected to the internet. just make sure that firefox recognizes itself as the default browser.

Firefox is great, look at all the add ons, some real good ones out there...

Cooliris and piclens are 2 of my favorites. Cooliris lets you preview a link in a smaller window, and piclens lets you view a whole series of pics in a really cool viewer. I can pull up a list of fishing pics and let my 5 year old daughter see them all and enlarge the ones she likes best, then go back to the list of them. She loves it.

Something else for you "real old computer" geeks. There was a time when you could use that "print screen" key on your keypad. [right next to the Scroll Lock key] It would take a snapshot of your on screen page and print it. Well after much searching I found something similar. It's called PRINT SCREEN. Just download the 750K program and use it. anything you have on screen, anywhere at all, choose print screen and it will print it.
